I'm not sure I understand the $1700 price tag. Self rocking bassinets can be had for a couple hundred dollars. Many have the same functionality, with cry detection and white noise capabilities. They also don't require the use of an app, it's just a self contained unit. Where is the 500% upcharge going?
- ronsor 2y agoThe cloud, of course.
- pfisch 2y agoThat is not true. Show me another self rocking bassinet like the snoo. Also the snoo does not require the app at all.
- _8L34K 2y agoJust google "self rocking bassinet", but that is also why I asked - so if you are confident enough to say it's not true, then please explain. Does it just come down to a different controller/set of algorithms for governing the rocking/white noise capabilities? The product itself doesn't seem to cost $1700 dollars to produce - it seems to be a bassinet on rollers with a motor attached that can play sound.
- MostlyStable 2y ago"like the snoo" appears to be the sticking point. What specific features do you think that A) are important for helping a baby sleep and B) are only found on the snoo? I've never used the snoo or any other self-rocking bassinet (luckily my daughter is a decently good sleeper on her own), but this product [0] certainly looks like it's pretty similar for a fraction of the price, and it's even from a known brand.

- mplewis 2y agoParents will pay a lot of money to get six months of sleep.
- MostlyStable 2y agoRight but the comment you are replying to is making the argument that the same functionality, and the same increase in sleep, can be had for a fraction of the cost.
